Rules and utilities worth knowing
Hawaii's Contractors License Board licenses contractors, and you can check a license through the DCCA. Replacing a full door may need a permit from the Department of Planning and Permitting in some areas, especially where wind load rules apply.
The local picture in Honolulu
Hurricane season in the central Pacific runs from June through November. Salt air corrodes outdoor fixtures, hinges and AC units quickly near the shore.
Building permits are filed through the Department of Planning and Permitting's online system. Garages converted to storage or workshops often have doors that are rarely used, and springs and rollers can stiffen from sitting.
Strong winds during storms can stress a garage door, so bracing is worth asking about. The Honolulu Board of Water Supply was created by the territorial legislature in 1929.
A little prep helps
Do not try to open a door with a broken spring, since it can drop suddenly.

What people ask us
Is my neighborhood in Honolulu covered?
Pros we work with cover Honolulu neighborhoods such as Manoa, Makiki, Kalihi and Kapahulu, in ZIP codes 96813, 96814, 96815, 96816, 96817 and others. Availability changes day to day, and we will be upfront if nobody can take the job.
Why won't my garage door close all the way?
The safety sensors near the floor may be blocked or out of line. Wipe the lenses and check that both lights are steady before calling for service.
Is my garage door opener too old?
Openers made before the early 1990s may not have the safety reverse features required today. If yours lacks photo eyes, replacing it is worth considering.
How do I open the door if the power is out?
Pull the emergency release cord, usually red, to disengage the opener and lift by hand if the springs are intact. If the door feels very heavy or falls quickly, the springs may be broken. Leave it closed and call.
If things get worse while you wait, call back and tell us. Safety comes before scheduling.
